• Visual C# Visual C# 2003 + Framework 2 SDK?

  Hi - I hope this is the appropriate forum to post this to... I'm writing an app that is to target framework 2.0. I have an older copy of C# 2003 Standard, and after installing the framework 2 sdk I tried switching the target runtime, but it only lets me change it from 1.0 to 1.1. I have two questions. 1) Is there any way to target framework 2 using the 2003 IDE 2) I have not seen C# 2005 being sold as a standalone product, will I need to purchase the entire Visual Studio in order to only get C# Thanks for your help, Joshua jhansen wrote: 1) Is there any way to target framework 2 using the 2003 IDE No, there's no way. jhansen wrote: 2) I have not seen C# 2005 being ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I prevent the console window from popping-up in my Windows Application Project?

  How do I prevent the console window from popping-up in my Windows application I mean, if I started from an empty project (or console application), and now I started using windows forms in it, the console window would not stop popping-up when I run the program. Is there some kinda compiler switch or option in the Visual C++ IDE to stop it from opening the console window (OR) How do I convert an empty project (or console project) into a Windows application project (i.e. so that the console window doesn't pop-up anymore.) You want to change the target subsystem from Console to Windows. Go to Project Properties - Linker - System and change the SubSystem drop down to Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS). Doing this should get rid of the annoying ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Which book is best for learning C#?

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book for learning C#. I already know ANSI C++, which means I don't know MFC programming. I'm very good at the language level (OOP an' all), but I couldn't decide which book would be best for me. Any advice will be appreciated. The books which I short-listed are : 1) MicrosoftR Visual C#R 2005 Step by Step (by John Sharp) http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/7655.asp 2) Programming MicrosoftR Visual C#R 2005: The Language (by Donis Marshall) http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/7219.asp Which do you think is better Or if you have a better book in mind, please tell me.

• .NET Development Specifying framework version with COM interop

  We are having problems with COM interop called from a Classic ASP Page loading the wrong version of th framework. If I load an assembly written in 1.1 on a computer which has multiple versions of the framework 1.1 & 2.0 and it is called from another assembly everything is OK and it uses the correct version. However, t here is documented behavior with COM interop where it ignores the registered version of the framework in an assembly. I f the same assembly is loaded through COM interop it loads and runs in the 2.0 framework. Seems this behavior is noted and documented ( http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/1319.aspx ) and even some potential solutions - Here and here but these only seem to work for apps that don't get register ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting all workspaces of a certain name

  I have a build server where different developers log in and update the code from TFS. I'm working on a bat file that will automatically look for a workspace of a certain name on the system and delete, then recreate it as the user that is currently doing the get latest. This is sort of a workaround to the fact that there are no shared workspaces. I have two command line scripts that work well. The first below retrieves a list of all the workspaces with that name. This can be used to see what developer currently owns the workspace: tf workspaces [workspacename] /server:http://server:8080 /owner:* The following will delete a workspace for a specific user: tf workspace /delete [workspacename];username /server:http://server:8080 /noprompt Bu ...Show All

You will build a model based on your customer/shopping basket table using the wizard. Since 2000 doesn't support creating nested tables in the wizard, you then need to add the nested table from your transaction table in the data mining editor.

• SQL Server How to create a custom tier above msmdpump.dll or create custom msmdpump.dll??

  I want to hit Analysis Services over HTTP but with custom authentication.  Is it possible to intercept the request before it gets to msmdpump and authenticate the user credentials coming from the client app   Or is it even possible to implement some interface or inherit from a base class and create my custom msmdpump.dll You are somewhat oversimplifying what msmdpump.dll does. The HTTP to TCP/IP transition involves translation of headers (some of them are custom), which is non-trivial piece, managing the pooling under different security settings etc. It is possible, of course, to replicate its functionality, but I am afraid "simple webpage" won't be enough to do it. ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot connect locally to SQL Server Express

  Hi, I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 express on my local Windows XP Professional machine. I've searched the the MS fora and Google but all the answers I find relate to trying to connect to a remote DB, not local. I run the aspnet_regsql.exe program in the interactive wizard mode, and in the Select the Server and Database step when I click on the Database drop-down list an error box pops up: Connection failed Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL server.
